The Shark Blog

In additional to our weekly fantasy planner that we publish each week, we're starting a new regular posting which will focus entirely on Daily and Weekly fantasy sports play.This is building off of our new War Room pages where you can find more strategy and tools for setting your daily lineups.So far, we're featuring Fanduel and Fantazzle.We'll soon be debuting pages for Draftzone, Fantasy Factor, and Fantasy Sports Live.

When setting your lineup, it's critical to find the value picks that deliver plenty of points for a small cap hit.It's our goal each week to give you updated picks with their current salaries."Value" picks are the best players on the very cheap end of the scale."Target" picks are higher end options that are still well below the upper price tags.For comparison sake, we'll list the highest price tag by position.

Side note: If you're new to playing on any of these sites, please use the links on our site to get there, so we can get referral credit.(every bit helps).

In terms of top picks, I take Claude Giroux every chance I get.Steven Stamkos comes at a high price tag, but that's where it's worth spending the money.On defense, you're not going to get your money's worth more than Anton Babchuck and P.K. Subban.And in net, if the Flyers are playing, you should be starting Bobrovsky.Here are the picks by position:

You can build a pretty solid roster with ease with some of the current values.Despite his recent slide, it's tough to beat Jaroslav Halak in net for 70k, when you see you have to spend 175k for Miller.On Wing, Loui Eriksson and James Neal are definite steals.Byfuglien is an absolute must on defense each week, and don't be shy about shelling out full value for centers like Crosby and Stamkos.
